When I woke up, I wanted to go home.

Chapter 169 Nine-Day Merchant Guild

"Ninth Brother, Ninth Brother, I've found out! The Nine Heavens Chamber of Commerce will be holding an auction here in two days!" Xiao Tu excitedly returned to the crowd and reported what he had learned to Zhu Chongjiu.

Afterwards, Xiao Tu told everyone about the auction location and other details he had found out.

"Oh, the Nine Heavens Chamber of Commerce? That's quite a name," Xiao Jin said sarcastically.

That's right. It's said that the Nine Heavens Chamber of Commerce is not a single chamber of commerce, but the largest chamber of commerce organization in the primordial universe, with numerous and diverse member chambers.

Legend has it that the president of the Nine Heavens Chamber of Commerce is a powerful figure at the Heavenly Venerable level.

That's true. Without absolute strength, it would be impossible to suppress such a large group.

Xiao Tu, besides the location and time of the auction, what else did you find out about the Nine Heavens Chamber of Commerce?

Seeing that he was silent among the crowd, Zhu Chongjiu suddenly asked, "?"

Xiao Tu quickly added, "That's all. It's just that the Nine Heavens Chamber of Commerce isn't something anyone can join just because they want to. There are rather strict requirements for joining."

However, the specific conditions are unknown.

After Xiao Tu finished answering, Zhu Chongjiu nodded and said, "That's right. Such a huge organization is not something that ordinary immortals in a small world can understand."

Such a behemoth is still too far away for us to mention for the time being.

I'm still more interested in this auction; let's take a look at the items up for auction.

Let's see if we can find any magical items that can help you advance in your level. After all, we're not short of money right now.

After saying that, the group, led by Xiao Tu, headed towards the location of the auction.

Due to the vastness of Qingfeng Immortal City, and the fact that Zhu Chongjiu and his group were only traveling on the edge of the city, after a day of stopping and starting, they finally arrived at the auction venue where the Nine Heavens Chamber of Commerce was located.

Holy crap, two Heavenly General-level immortals guarding the gate! You know, the strongest in this Qingfeng World is only an Immortal King. No wonder they're the largest merchant organization in the entire Yuan Universe, they're so arrogant.

Alright, Xiao Jin, stop being envious. Ninth Brother has already left.

Zhu Chongjiu merely glanced at the auction venue, unlike the younger children who scrutinized it more closely, before heading towards the main entrance.

When Zhu Chongjiu arrived at the entrance of the venue, the two immortal generals stopped him and said in a cold voice, "The Nine Heavens Chamber of Commerce is located here. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter!"

Upon seeing this scene, Zhu Chongjiu's expression remained unchanged. Instead, he calmly asked, "We are traveling from another world. We heard that your Nine Heavens Merchant Guild is holding an auction tomorrow, and we would like to participate. How can we do so?"

At this point, the rest of the children had also arrived behind Zhu Chongjiu.

Seeing that the group of people were dressed in extraordinary clothes, had handsome appearances and noble demeanor, the two celestial generals guarding the gate softened their tone slightly when answering Zhu Chongjiu's questions.

When the auction starts tomorrow, those who wish to enter will need to meet three requirements.

1. Those who are personally invited by the Jiutian Chamber of Commerce.

Second, those whose cultivation level is at least at the Heavenly King level.

Third, one must possess assets of at least one million mid-grade immortal crystals.

Apart from these three conditions, no other person is allowed to enter.

After hearing the guard's words, Zhu Chongjiu turned and left without looking back.

Seeing this, the rest of the children followed Zhu Chongjiu's steps and walked away into the distance.

After everyone had walked away, the impatient Xiao Mu was the first to ask, "Ninth Brother, what does that mean?"

Should we participate or not?

Why did they leave without saying a word?

Zhu Chongjiu turned to look at Xiaomu and said, "Why aren't you participating?"

Seeing that Xiao Mu was about to ask something again, Zhu Chongjiu waved his hand and said, "Stop, halt!"

I know what you want to ask. Let Xiao Jin explain it to you. After all, the future Jin Shen is a real man of the world.

People in the real world understand this very well!

Seeing everyone's gaze turn to him, Xiao Jin pinched his Adam's apple, which had just bulged, cleared his throat, and said, "Although I didn't go to the entrance of the auction with Ninth Brother, you should have seen how those two gatekeepers treated Ninth Brother at the beginning."

And then what will their attitude be when we all arrive?

Why is that?

Yes, why is that?

Little Fire, look at you, don't rush, I'll tell you now.

All of this is thanks to the care and concern shown to us by the Heavenly King with Many Eyes.

As the saying goes, clothes make the man and a saddle makes the horse. We're all dressed in gold and silver, so who wouldn't look up to us?

Especially in this cannibalistic immortal realm, who would dare to look down on us when we're all dressed in such a large group?

No matter how strong he is, in the end, he is just a gatekeeper. At most, he is not afraid of us being defeated because of the powerful figure behind him, but he also dares not offend us easily. That's why his later reply was more respectful.

Finally, after asking his questions, Ninth Brother turned and left, a move that truly impressed his subordinate. With that, Xiao Jin gave Zhu Chongjiu a thumbs-up.

Seeing Zhu Chongjiu's hand about to be raised, Xiao Jin quickly took two steps back and then explained to everyone: "Look at the change in the attitude of those two gatekeepers. Since they already consider us to be some extraordinary rich and powerful people, let's go with the flow and do what such people should do."

It's like, if you were a billionaire, would you sense finding a low-grade immortal crystal?

Oh, I see. Just like when we bought that jade hairpin, Ninth Brother is putting on a show for others.

Good job, Xiao Mu! You're quite clever; you understand things very quickly.

At this moment, Zhu Chongjiu interjected, "Xiao Jin is right, I didn't mean to pretend like this."

However, we have already been discovered, and it is estimated that there are more than one person watching us besides the Heavenly Dao.

So I'm going to create a character for everyone, a character that we decided on from the very beginning.

The things we wear and adorn are all treasures collected by the Many-Eyed Heavenly King from various worlds, and they are all quite valuable. With such innate advantages, how can we not make good use of them?

The main issue is that the living conditions of humans in the Immortal Realm are completely different from ours. Even if they considered that possibility, they probably couldn't overcome their own conscience.

Ninth Brother is so thoughtful; I never thought of that. But Ninth Brother, the Nine Heavens Chamber of Commerce is so powerful, yet their auction venue isn't very big.

From the outside, it looks like it can only accommodate a few thousand people.

However, those layers upon layers of formations were truly dazzling and colorful, and they looked quite powerful.

Little Fire, are you stupid?

Didn't you hear the security guard's instructions regarding the entry requirements?

How many people in a small world controlled by a Celestial King could meet the requirements mentioned by the Nine Heavens Chamber of Commerce?

I think it's difficult to even see a thousand people.

As for those formations, I estimate they're just a matter of prestige. According to rumors, who would dare to rob the Nine Heavens Chamber of Commerce?

Alright, Xiao Jin, talk to Xiao Huo properly. He doesn't know as much as you do.

Little Rou, I understand. I'll definitely be more careful next time!

The group, laughing and chatting all the way, arrived at the Immortal Abode Hotel, the closest hotel to the auction venue.

The hotel reception staff lost their initial enthusiasm after hearing that they were only staying for one day.

He simply followed professional ethics and asked Zhu Chongjiu what kind of room he wanted.

Zhu Chongjiu, once again adopting his arrogant and unapproachable demeanor, replied, "The highest grade!"

Upon hearing "the highest tier," the staff member's expression flickered slightly, but after realizing they were only staying for one day, he quickly regained his composure and replied, "The Heavenly Immortal Abode offers ten mid-grade immortal crystals per day. Payment is required before check-in."

Xiao Jin was displeased by the staff's attitude and was about to say something when Zhu Chongjiu, who was standing in front, seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. He simply said two words, "Xiao Jin," and Xiao Jin fell silent, her expression returning to calm.

Zhu Chongjiu took out ten mid-grade immortal crystals from his storage ring and threw them on the ground just as the staff reached out to take them.

Then Zhu Chongjiu coldly said to the service staff, "I want to rest right away, you need to process my request quickly."

Our family belongs to the Wind Immortal King...!

Upon witnessing this scene, the staff did not compromise to pick up the immortal crystals that Zhu Chongjiu had thrown on the ground. Instead, they angrily tried to bring out the backstage area to make Zhu Chongjiu and the others back down.

However, before the waiter could finish speaking, Zhu Chongjiu uttered two more words, still "Xiao Jin"!

However, this time, as soon as Zhu Chongjiu's golden character landed, there was a loud bang, and the service staff member was instantly turned into a bloody mist by Xiao Jin.

The rest of the smaller creatures, including Zhu Chongjiu, seemed to know that Xiao Jin would kill them. Their bodies glowed faintly, keeping the blood mist out and not staining their clothes at all.

Damn it, I've disliked him ever since I walked in the door. He's a snobbish jerk, ugh!

I've been tolerant and haven't pulled any strings, but you're the one who's started to act tough.

Just as Xiao Jin finished speaking, a furious roar came from inside the Immortal Abode Hotel: "Who dares to cause trouble in this Immortal Abode?"
